I would wait until they are at least a couple of inches tall and have a bit of a root system. Did you get some net cups and some Leca (clay balls?)

Yes. I bought an AG kit like that because I wanted to keep the herbs that came with the unit, but grow lettuces. The sponges are also good to use in Kratky jars. I bought a pack of 3" net cups as well, as they fit wide-mouth mason jars. Yes KB, They have this down to a fine art. They've perfected th...

Yes. I would remove 4 seedlings and re-plant them somewhere else as I cannot bear to kill them either. I tried leaving two lettuces in one pod, and they got out of hand, even harvesting the outer leaves every day. (BTW they say not to harvest more than one third of the leaves at a time, and I didn't...

Killer Bunny, I start all my seeds under grow lights - not until mid-March though. Can't wait!

Everyone is in the gardening mood :). Lolotsung, I think you will love your Aerogarden herbs! Good idea to worm the puppies if they eat questionable stuff. I noticed that the AG Harvest (6 pods) is on sale at Amazon for $92 ATM. The AG Sprout ($3 pods) is also on sale at Walmart for $60. Ontario Chi...

And you are still here to tell the tale! :) We've always been told not to use carnivore manure on the veggie garden. Everything seems to grow faster and better in an Aerogarden. (AG claims they grow 5 times faster! ) The reason being that they get light for 16 hours a day, constant nutrition and moi...
